It is home to 600 undergraduate students, and offers varied living accommodations in the seven story tower and three story cluster buildings. Single and double rooms, as well as double rooms in suite accommodations for four, six or eight students of the same sex are available. Some of the suites have balconies & patios. Manzanita and San Rafael share a Faculty-in-Residence who advises residents, and provides opportunities for residents to meet other faculty members.

Located at Main Campus West

Comprised of a 7-story tower and two 3-story buildings (Mountain and Ocean Clusters)

The San Rafael tower has two elevators serving all seven floors. The 3-story San Rafael Ocean and Mountain Clusters are connected by stairs. There is no elevator access to the second or third floors in the Clusters.

The co-ed design is approximately 50 students per floor with men and women housed in alternating suites on each floor.

*only Manzanita Village and San Miguel have a limited number of 'small doubles'

UCSB residence hall triple rooms are considered temporary, whether or not a student requests one as their top preference. Our standard is a double room, so budget for a double. Students will receive a rate discount only for the time three students are booked in the room. If one (or both) of the roommates move out, the remaining student(s) will be billed the double room rate, prorated, from that date through the end of the contract period.
